^^^-^ HE circus! Magic words!
■ ^ j Through the narrow gateway
^^^/ into the midst of the hulla-
baloo !
"Ladeez an' gentellmen! The great-
est show on earth is within these can-
vas walls! Come, see all the marvels
of the world!" The barker! His face
is familiar. I have seen that virile pose,
those gleaming blond locks before! Can
it be? Is it possible? It is! It is none
other than my old Q. H. S. class mate,
the class boss, Dick (what-a-man)
Paulson.
In the freak tent, those individuals
are lined up in view. First, the fat lady,
Madamoiselle Rosie, weighing 303 1-3
pounds. As I draw close to her, she
smiles and says, "My old pal! Don't
you remember me? I'm Dotty Dahl,
Q. H. S., J '32." Dot wants me to meet
her hubby, the human skeleton, who
weighs 65 pounds. Imagine my surprise
when I discover that I am looking at
the emaciated face of Bobby Jordon.
Bobby greets me in his old cheerful
manner, and I go on my way, wonder-
ing whom I will bump into next. By
jingo, the Siamese twins! Now, I know
I have seen them somewhere before.
But where? Oh, of course, the Brewer
twins from good old Quincy High.
Aha! Punch and Judy, childhood's
friends! What is this I see? Can it
really be Henry Fuller and Virginia
Giles? They have attracted a great
crowd, mostly children, who seem to be
enjoying their jokes and pranks.
But, now, I come upon the ring. The
ringmaster (Herbert Crowley, or I'll be
hornswoggled) snaps his whip briskly.
Here comes the bareback rider. I gaze
in admiration upon the supple form.
She comes nearer and I discover that
I am looking at the face of Mildred
Costello. Mildred gailv waves her hand
to me as she passes. At this point a
band of wild Indians come racing in.
With a whoop, they swing their toma-
hawks around, and the one nearest me
barely misses my head. I glare indig-
nantly at him, but my wrath subsides
when I see that he is no other than
Kenneth Burnham.
Perhaps if I take a walk around the
grounds, I will meet some more ac-
quaintances. At the farther end of the
tent I see quite a crowd gathered. I
have my share of curiosity, so I hurry
over and find a clown cutting capers.
Under his paint I can distinguish the
features of Robert Putnam. So, Bob is up
to his tricks again, I see. But here comes
a peanut vendor, and as I feel like
munching a while, I stop him and buy a
bag. The vendor proves to be no other
than Jimmie Ellis. Jimmie offers me the
peanuts for nothing, as he has not the
heart to charge a former classmate for
anything. . . . Before I go home, I
should like to visit the elephants.' ;I
always was interested in these huge ani-
mals, and besides, I want to get fid of
my peanuts. Here I find John DiBona
and Carol Barrie serving as water ten-
ders. No doubt, they were given these
jobs on account of their height. I had
no opportunity to speak to them as the
elephants happened to be extremely
thirsty. However, I was rid of my
peanuts.
But now, I have spent the entire day
visiting the Potter and Power Circus.
It has been very interesting, but it
might have been more so, if Mr. Pot-
ter and Mr. Power had condescended to
mix in with their employees. For, were
we not taught long ago in Quincy High
School that the industrial democracy
was the best kind of business? How-
ever, probably they missed out on that
valuable information and — S'nuff! ! I'm
tired from walking all day, so don't
blame me if I cut this short.

CLASS WILL
^~w^ E, the Class of June, 1932, be-
I I I ing of as sane a mind as the
\JLs longer school day and the
depression will permit, do
hereby leave and bequeath in our last
will and testament, the following:
To Mr. Collins — we feel there is no
need to bequeath anything to Mr. Col-
lins, as our absence will probably meet
the purpose.
To Mr. Wilson — An Austin, so that
he may be able to get to Quincy Square
in a hurry and so catch delinquent
pupils.
To Miss Thompson — An automatic
traffic signal to aid her in her duties.
To Miss Rizzi — One large club to
hold off photographers.
To Miss Crockett — A well-earned
vacation.
To Miss Clark — A bookcase to hold
the classics that she has a habit of col-
lecting from the studiously-minded
pupils.
To the Student Council— One gross
of committees to tide them over the
coming year.
To the Page and Stage Club — One
large copy of "Plays of Today and Yes-
terday," by whoever wants to write it,
to be given at future meetings.
To the Girls' Club — A longer week,
so that they will have time to complete
all their plans and engagements.
To the future Basketball Teams — The
suggestion that the baskets be made
larger, the ball made smaller, the team
enlarged, so as to have one man on a
stepladder to make sure of a few points.
To the Track Team — A package of
Lux to prevent shrinkage when they
wash their uniforms, in order to keep
the morals of Quincy at their present
high level.
To the Tennis Team — Crowley's pat-
ented tennis racket, designed to take
advantage of the strings rather than the
v/ood.
To the Girls' Field Hockey Team — A
surplus supply of shin-guards so that
our beaches will not be covered with
scarred survivors of this brutal game.
To Margaret MacDonald — The com-
bined successes of Louise Rood and
Stewart Smith in the world of music.
To Arthur Szathmary — Robert Put-
nam's title of Class Grind.
To Edward Sherman — The role of
leading man in Senior Dramatics.
To Phyllis Keene— Phyllis Elliott's
popularity.
To the entering Sophomore — A few
well-worn teachers and a book of in-
structions on how to act around the
Pony, which we know will be helpful
in later years.
To the school in general — An evap-
orating system by which one is able
to become thin air and pass out the rear
door of the auditorium without being
caught by a teacher.
We appoint the Mills Brothers execu-
tors of this our last will and testament.
In witness whereof we have hereunto
set our hands and seal, this fifteenth
day of June in the year of our Lord one
thousand nine hundred and thirty- two.
Signed, sealed, published, and de-
clared by the said Class of June, 1932,
as their last will and testament in the
presence of us.

JUNE '32 HISTORY
y^S HE keel of the good ship J '32
■ ^ j was laid with all due cere-
^^^^ mony September 1929. Tools
and tasks were assigned and
the usual adjustments made. As the
routine became familiar, life as Sophs
became easier to bear. The first gen-
eral assembly of workingmen was held
September 21, when Mr. Cabot, man-
ager of the Quincy Electric Light and
Power Company, spoke on the observ-
ance of the fiftieth anniversary of the
incandescent lamp. Two days later a
concert by the Music Department served
to bring us into close harmony with each
other. Splendid trumpet selections were
rendered by Walter Smith and his sons,
Walter and Stewart. Early in October
"Doc" Whiting, conserver and director
of our physical program, fired the com-
rades with enthusiasm for fall athletics.
Work on the ship was now moving
smoothly. The Big Sister Club held a
"mixer" party for the Sophomore girls,
at this time, and we were becoming
better acquainted with our "superiors."
Associates attended the Hallowe'en
dance in the plant's gym as their first
party. An Armistice Day program was
given for the whole plant and a "pep"
rally October 20, preparatory to the
Quincy- Brockton tiff.
The Christmas dance and Christmas
Assembly, sponsored by the Music De-
partment, followed in close succession.
After a brief respite from our new
labor, we opened the New Year with
an athletic assembly, at which assembly
there was the awarding of letters,
merits of progress, attesting to the
sturdiness of our craft.
Thus far the work on the hull was
fast nearing completion. We worked
swiftly with few events of importance
until the Memorial Day program, and
after that a few lectures. Work ended
June 19 and we left "her," already giv-
ing promise of a staunch ship, until our
fall return.
Frame work for cabin and decks was
set up September 4, 1930, and then we
built it solid, in a quick succession of
events and activities. Opening days
were made easier by the fact that the
workers were no longer Sophs. At least
we had risen to a new level and a cer-
tain condescension was shown the in-
coming employees. Having completed
the hull, we worked like mad and with
the completion of our cargo and steer-
age space had room for the newcomers.
October 7, some of us took the day off
to see the Legion parade in Boston. On
October 17, Mr. Herman Smith, Para-
mount color expert, entertained the
entire company with a description of
work behind the "flicker."
The Thalia Club held its initiation
and many of the prominent parts of the
English Club play "Station YYYY,"
given October 25, were taken by fellow
workers. The annual Hallowe'en dance
came next and a few days after some of
the workers accompanied the football
team to Augusta, Maine. Thanksgiving
was next in importance with the plant's
vacation. Big Sister's Christmas assem-
bly, and a long vacation, finished the
year 1930; meanwhile our boiler rooms
and engines were completely installed
and our good ship was standing in her
"cradle."
Branson DeCou gave an interesting
illustrated talk on the Colorado Indians
and the following month some of the
Alumni furnished a Music Assembly.
On April 17, we executed the truly
serious task of electing ship's officers, to
whom we entrusted the entire care of
seeing us safely to all ports.
The "Florist Shop" was presented
May 4 by the English Club with a few
members of the class holding good
parts. Some attended the annual Boston
Music Festival at the Boston Garden
later in May. Work was proceeding
with much gusto and by the time for
the summer layoff, we had turned out a
three-quarter ship — complete up to
Deck C. She was shaping up like a real
liner and eager to be off.

THE GOLDEN-ROD
Senior year work recommenced Sep-
tember 9, 1931, and the task of finishing
tourist and first-class cabins lay before
us.
October 21, the plant assembled to
pay homage to Thomas Edison. Ad-
miral Muir spoke of his wonderful
work and described him from personal
acquaintance. Swiftly followed the Arm-
istice Day program, the Hallowe'en
frohc, and the Brockton "pep" rally.
The Senior play, "A Pair of Sixes,"
was successfully presented and well
played. Then came Christmas and all
that goes with it. Thus we rounded out
our work on Deck B, fore and aft.
Many members attended the Senior
Reception January 20, held in the
plant's recreation hall. Later in Febru-
ary we were well represented in the cast
of "A P.omantic Young Lady," present-
ed by the Page and Stage Club.
With the launching of the F'32 class,
the J '32 was left in charge of the ship
yard. Proudly she held her head high
and surveyed all. The Dignified Senior!
Nearly completed and ready to buffet
the seas of life. Expectant and a bit
scornful ! With unceasing activity, work
went on, and events were prepared for
the launching.
Late in April we started having our
pictures taken for the Senior issue of
the Golden Rod, and for exchange
among classmates. On May 25 the oper-
etta "H. M. S. Pinafore" was presented
with great success by the combined glee
clubs. June 15, our Class Day, was novel
and well liked.
We finished her in May, Deck A first
class for those who wish the best. There
she lay and rocked in her cradle, com-
plete in every detail, ready for the final
test.
On June 22 the Good Ship J '32 will
slip down the ways. With all good faith
and a sturdy crew, we know she will
fare well and encounter successfully
those dangers on life's stormy seas.

INNOCENCE IS BLISS
By Kenneth Burnham
Dutchy stretched and yawned. The
sun sparkled on her sleek hair, here
brown, there black and white. She was
thinking. A cat has plenty of time to
think and, though you may not know,
she thinks a great deal.
This morning Dutchy was thinking
of kittens. Hers always found a god
home before they were a week old.
She was sorry for the cat next door —
her kittens went to butcher shops, barns,
and land knows where. Such disgust-
ing places for kittens to be brought up
in and to live in! She felt sorry for
the poor things.
"Now take my kittens," thought she,
"when they are a few days old the mas-
ter takes them and says he's going to
send them to Heaven. From what I've
heard, Heaven is a wonderful place."
She rolled over, lazily licked some
stray hair into place, and went to sleep
purring happily .
SAD SONG
"Who owns that bending back
That gibbering- tongue and
Roaming mind
Who knows that shaky hand and
Wrinkled brow
Outcast from all mankind?
What's in that case . . . that
Black burden in his hand
What desperate deed . . . what
dredful* thing
Is he hiding from the land?
That man's MAD
Mark him well
For he deserves
The Fires of Hell
He once was great ... his name
well known
He once played a saxophone
Oh Fates ... do guide him
Help him . . . though you know
He doesn't deserve help
That poor devil is
I
I . . . the Mad Maestro of the Aberjona
You know . . . playing the saxophone

Turn one's mind . . .
If you doubt me
Turn me from your roof

SUNSHINE DRIVER
By Norma M. Cook
OUTNAM in yet? His wife's
callin'!"
"No — tell her we expect
him in any time, and tell her not to
worry."
After he had delivered this message,
Frenchie, mechanic for the Transporta-
tion Company, thought a moment, then
turned to his boss who looked worried
as he sat checking reports.
"Say, Sam — it's kind of funny for
Putnam not to have come in or reported
to us yet. He doesn't usually hang upon
the road this long. Y'know, he left
yesterday at two A. M. Haven't you
heard from him yet? It's eleven P. M.
now
!"
"No, not a word. He had a load of
groceries on for Berlin, New Hamp-
shire. That's over the White Moun-
tains, and he said he was going to take
the route through Pinkham Notch.
Johnnie trailed him until he had
reached West Ossipee — then he had to
turn off for Whittier, and Putnam kept
on for Berlin. There's a tough blizzard
raging up that way, and — well, Put-
nam's return looks rather doubtful to
me, I'm afraid. Remember Number Six !"
"Can't you send a driver out after
him?"
"My best drivers are either on the
road or bunked, and the others are
'Sunshiners' — they're worse than
none!"
It was only too true, Frenchie real-
ized. A "Sunshine Driver" is one who
drives only in fair weather or in sum-
mer, and would be hopeless in a bliz-
zard. As he was gloomily thinking of
the fate of Number Six, and of Put-
nam, with a wife and two children, the
phone rang again.
"Hello! Who? Sam! Come here! It's
Putnam!"
As the two listened, a series of
clipped phrases and words came over
the wire.
"Putnam — Notch — past Glen House
■ — skidded — pole down — tapped — send
help— I— I—"
"Putnam! Putnam! He's gone!
Frenchie, I've got to find someone to
go after him! ! There's still a chance!
How about Ramon, his brother?"
"Sam, don't be foolish! Ray isn't up
to it! He's a Sunshiner. He couldn't
make that trip!"
"I'll take a chance. Ray used to be
one of my best drivers, and he knows
that route. It's just that he got in with
the wrong crowd. I'll try to locate him!
What's in?"
"Number Nine is in and all O.K.
He can use that — if he goes!"
A half hour later, Ray was in the
truck and ready to take aid to his
brother. His truck was well supplied
with gas, first-aid and repair kits, food,
and heat in the form of an oil stove.
He was also carrying all the grit he
could hold, which had been instilled by
Sam's faith in him, and by the fact that
there was still a chance to save his
brother, who had often helped him out
of "scrapes."
50
THE GOLDEN-ROD
His truck tore on through the ebon
veil of night. He finally crossed into
New Hampshire, and found himself in
the face of a bombardment of hail-
stones. A blizzard! The fine, blinding
snow combined with the hailstones and
formed a thick layer of ice on his wind-
shield. The wiper was useless, so he
had to drive with his head out of the
cab window into the storm. The biting
wind cut across his face and coaxed
the snow into his dimming eyes ; it pen-
etrated his thick mackinaw and slashed
his shaking body. The road was alter-
nately slushy, then icy. The hail beat
against his truck, which was swaying
dangerously and violently with the
howling gale. He had started up the
mountain now. No use looking for
trails! They laughed at him? He'd
show 'em! The truck skidded and
balked. He put her in second and she
darted forward with another spurt of
energy. Ah! Glen House! He'd be on
the look-out for Chic, now! As he flew
on past Glen House, his snow-caked
lids fluttered as his glassed eyes
searched the road ahead and the val-
ley below for some sign of Chick. Then
as he peered into the solid darkness
beneath him, he spied an object. Stop-
ping the truck, he alighted and care-
fully scaled the snow-blanketed, ice-
jaked cliff to the valley below. The
object was Chic's truck!
"Chic! Chic! Are you here? Chic!
My God — there you are!"
He stopped, and then in a daze ap-
proached the body of his brother lying
across a fallen telephone pole. He
shook him, then felt at his heart. Yes,
there was life, but he'd have to get him
away from the wreckage there to his
truck at the top where he could ad-
minister first-aid and give him nourish-
ment and heat. He grasped Chic's col-
lar and began to tug him from the
wreckage. Then he lifted him half up
and proceeded to climb. He made but
slow progress, being hampered by heavy
clothing, ice, and sleet. Finally, after a
supreme struggle, he reached his goal
and i^ot Chic into the truck where he
lay for a moment — completely exhaust-
ed. Then he lit the stove and proceeded
to bring his brother around by means
of heat and stimulants. An hour later —
"Speak to me, Chic! Please say
somethin'!"
"Skidded — help — cold, so cold —
skid — "
"Chic, don't you know me? It's me
— Ray! Speak to me! You're all right
now. Everything's all right!"
"Why, it's — it's Ray- — my kid
brother! How — wh — ?"
"Now don't talk, you blamed son-
of-a-gun! Making me come out in this
flutter after you! You lie in here on
these sacks, and I'll be startin' back
now." There were tears in his eyes as
he spoke. Chic complied and soon was
in a deep slumber.
The ride home was a nightmare. Ray
had to reverse almost to the foot of the
mountain before he could find a fork
in which to back around, as the road
was too narrow to permit turning a
truck. The blizzard grew worse. It
was like a terrible monster, mad, —
raging because of losing its prey! It;
slashed him — swayed the truck — bit his
face — and stung his eyes. It blinded
him! It sifted into the cab, and tore
at the canvas! As Ray looked out, all
he could see was a frantic fury of sleet
and snow swirling fiercely about him.
Snowbent trees — snapped poles — white-
topped houses — creamy bankments— all
loomed before him. Then the familiar
garage doors — voices shouting — lights
— confusion — then merciful uncon-
sciousness!—
"This where they are, Nurse?"
"Yes, sir, this is the ward."
"How are they?"
"They both had a very close call to
Death, but they're doing fine now. You
may go in."
She opened the door into a small
ward containing two beds. Ray, in
one, had his frozen right cheek band-
aged, and his hands. Chic's head was
bandaged, also his right hand and leg
which had been exposed.

DIMPY
By Dorothy Johnson
XN half a second Dimpy would
hear the crack of the revolver
and he would be starting one
of the most important races of his life.
Not only was it a contest to judge the
fastest swimmer of the summer vaca-
tionists at Cold Lake, but it was one in
which Dimpy was to "find" himself —
the real, honest, fun-loving Dimp that
was hidden beneath the Dimp of this
morning and many other days — the red-
haired lad of eighteen who was afraid,
who lacked self-confidence, and who
always acquired a cramp or a strained
muscle in the course of a race if he saw
that any of his fellow contestants were
out-swimming him.
But today it was different. He had
"found" himself, so to speak, when,
quite accidentally, he overheard in the
locker room a conversation between his
own father and the swimming instruc-
tor.
"Well, Mr. Hayfield,"— that was the
instructor — "how do you suppose your
son will make out in the race today, in
spite of his handicap of having a dad
with a famous reputation as a swim-
mer? I watched him out there alone
this morning; he's in wonderful form."
"Yes — yes," answered Dimp's fa-
ther, rather dejectedly; "I'm going to
tell you something, Jack, that I wouldn't
admit to another person on this earth.
I've been everything to that boy, moth-
er, father, brother, everything to him.
I taught him to swim when he was
hardly old enough to talk. I've tried to
teach him how much it means to me to
have him succeed in it." It was a world-
known fact that Harry Hayfield, with
a wonderful career ahead of him, had
fallen down the stairs and broken his
back, and never was able to swim again.
"He's on the swimming team at prep,
now, but there's something missing,
Jack, he's yellow — that's what — he's
yellow. God help him. I've tried to
and failed."
That settled it — or rather unsettled it.
Dimp's mind was in a whirl for a min-
ute or two and then he realized the
meaning of his father's words.
Only a fraction of a second more
and then — oh God! He'd have to win.
From the corner of his eye he could see
the still, intense faces of the gaily
garbed spectators on the shore who had
all turned out in high spirits for the
last and most important event of the
season, all with a single thought —
"Would Hayfield's son come through
today?"
A great majority of them secretly
thought he could do it. The only close
competition would come from the new
fellow, Bud Sands. He was a lean,
bronzed, Greek-god type of fellow with
that air of "Of -course I'm better-than-
these-people." But a few skeptical
souls were overheard to say that Dimp
would have to "sprout wings or swal-
low an awful lot of lake to beat that
Sands feller."
There was the shot. Six muscular
forms plunged forward from the raft
and were off. They were to circle the
tiny island with a clump of bushes on
it, in the middle of the lake, and re-
turn to the raft, a distance of three
quarters of a mile.
The thought that kept racing through
Dimp's mind as he swam was, "He's
yellow! He's yellow! God help him!"
Faster and faster he swam until he
and Bud were side by side and well in
the lead. He nearly missed a stroke as
he thought that he mightn't have heard
his father and he would still be going
on with that old feeling of inferiority.
Well, he'd show them; he'd show his
father, now, that he was no longer to be
ashamed of. And he did.
Up until the last ten yards of the
race he and Bud swam shoulder to
shoulder; and then, with sure, power-
ful strokes, Dimp crept slowly ahead
until he reached the raft, with Bud
three yards behind him. He was vio-

lently cheered and carried pompously
up the beach, where he was awarded a
large silver cup, and treated much as a
young hero. But the greatest triumph
of the day, thought he, was the discov-
ery of the real Dimp!
E
DOG FLESH
'OR weeks now, Tawnyhide, the
puma so called by men of the
West, had been molesting
herds of sheep, cattle, and
horses owned by Colonel Southmore, a
typical gentleman that only the South
can rear. Harry Burns, a poor hunter
and a tenant of the Colonel's, being
"financially embarrassed," owed the
Colonel tenant money. Now the
Colonel, a great sportsman, agreed to
free Harry from all debt that he had
so incurred, if he in turn, with his skill
and knowledge of the neighboring
ranges and with the assistance of his
lop-eared dog, Terror, would rid the
vicinity of the dreaded cat within
twenty- four hours.
Harry Burns had been born and
brought up in this country and he had
lived now for some years by his hunt-
ing with his mongrel, which he had
raised and trained to the best of his
ability in tracking down game. But
since the arrival of Tawnyhide, his
source of revenue was diminished by
the puma's lust and bloody destruction
of the wild habitation. For this reason
he, for the first time in his life, had
been steeped in debt.
On the day following the agreement,
Terror entered the hillside, with Harry,
gun slung under his arm, following
closely behind, while the proud and
resolute Colonel shook his head sadly
saying, "Poor old fool." For two hours
man and beast trekked silently together
until Terror suddenly gave his own pe-
culiar little yelp in recognition of the
scent, and set off at a loping trot
through the woods. For hours they
battled with the wilds of the mountain
ranges, where Terror battled, only as a
game old hound can, all the big cat's
uncanny trickery in concealing his lair.
Now, the puma can kill a horse or
an ox, but above all things, it loves
best the flesh of dog. When he got
wind of Terror, he became suddenly
enraged and craftily watched his hated
enemy come loping along a hot scent.
Bunching his powerful forepaws, he
sprang from a ledge above, straight for
his unsuspecting foe. Terror seemed to
sense that something was amiss and
with that strange animal instinct which
is so prevalent in mother nature's child-
ren, leaped to one side. Then there en-
sued such a battle as was never seen or
heard of before in these ranges, with
Tawnyhide, the puma, fighting his
hated enemy, and Terror righting as
only an old dog versed in all the wars
and campaigns of the trail can fight
his last fruitless fight.
Terror clamped his jaws firmly at the
base of the cat's skull and clung ten-
aciously while the big cat raked the
poor body with forepaw and hindpaw,
but all to no avail. When Harry Burns
arrived on the scene, all was peaceful
and calm, and at the foot of the ledge
lay two silent corpses, one with its
jaws firmly planted on that fatal spot
at the base of' the skull ; the other with
its claws firmly imbedded in the flesh
it loved so well — dog flesh!
FAMILY FAVOR
"Charity begins at home,"
Ours ain't had no chance to roam!
With all their troubles to us they come,
They get free meals, and then some!
Funny part, I think By Ge —
They want to run the family!
Auntie Kit once made the crack
That washin' dishes was my knack!
Uncle Ezra thinks that I
Can nurse so well his baby bye,
I'm counting ten most all the time,
To keep from killing cousins of mine.
Yet what right have I to holler,
Christmas brings each silver dollar;
Then I've got the consolation,
"It takes all kinds to make a nation."

THE HAND OF FATE
By Adeline Ambler
FOUNTAIN splashed in the
center of the velvet lawn in
the garden of the Hotel
Tobey. Near this fountain a
woman was sitting on a bench — a
woman with a wistful mouth and star-
tlingly blue eyes. One instinctively
noticed her eyes and thought of them
with an unsatisfied curiosity.
Then suddenly the woman became
aware that she was not alone. Across
the garden, a light flickered in the
darkness, revealing for a moment the
face of a man. Then the light went
out. In its place was the steady glow
of a cigarette.
The man approached the bench and
raised his brows, in a bored way on
finding the bench occupied. His cool
gray eyes surveyed the woman
amusedly.
"How amazing!"
The woman stared up at him.
"What do you mean? I'm afraid I
don't understand."
For a moment the man puffed slowly
on his cigarette without answering.
Then he replied, "I find it surprising
that so charming a girl as you should
be occupying what is popularly known
as 'Lovers' Retreat' alone. Don't tell me
you've been crossed in love."
A fleeting smile crossed the woman's
face.
"I am merely enjoying the beauty of
this marvelous evening."
"Well, I don't think it is altogether
generous of you to enjoy it alone, par-
ticularly as I desire someone with whom
to share the evening."
His voice was so wistful that the
woman flashed him a sudden smile.
"You look as lonely as I feel," she
said softly. "Sit down and we will enjoy
it together."
"Here we are," laughed the man,
hours later, "and I don't even know
your name or you mine."
The girl raised her eyes slowly and
smiled.
"Let's forget about names. After all
they're not important. You say you're
here for two weeks. I'm here for three.
Let's go on being happy, without any
questions. At the end of the time we'll
separate, and forget about it all. Just
a pleasant interlude. How about it?"
The man's eyes narrowed.
"But what shall we call each other?"
he protested faintly.
"Call me Rosemary."
"But Rosemary means remembrance,
and I understand that we are supposed
to forget this little episode."
"We are," the woman answered. "So
just call me Rose."
"And you call me — John."
The two weeks fled by for the two in
this game of "Let's Pretend." When
at last it was time for the man to return
to the city, they had become great
friends.
Then, just before the train pulled out
the girl spoke in agonized entreaty, for-
getting that she herself had suggested
that they bar names.
"John, tell me your name, please, be-
fore you go. That's all I want. You
see — I don't want to forget."
The man hesitated for a moment.
Then he produced a visiting card, the
card of a friend. He debated whether
to give it to her or tell her who he
really was. Just then the whistle blew,
warningly. He thrust the card into her
hand and jumped aboard the train.
Left alone on the platform, the girl
stared at the card, engraved with the
name, "Richard Travers," followed by
an address in the socially prominent
part of Boston.
Two years later the telephone rang in
Wendell Arden's apartment. Wendell
answered with his usual cheery
"Hello."
"This is Dick Travers speaking,
Wendell. Talk about fairy tales. How's
this for one? A woman I don't know,
never even met, has died and left me
thousands of dollars."

"What!" Wendell's voice was
amazed.
"Yes," Dick went on, "you've prob-
ably heard of her. Rosemary Churchill,
the authoress. She left a rather odd
message for me."
"What was it?" Wendell strove to
control his voice.
" 'Fate willed that we should meet
and part.' And it is signed 'Rosemary
for Remembrance.' '
"It was the hand of fate," Wendell
answered in a queerly cracked voice,
just before the receiver dropped from
his nerveless hand, as he wondered why
the words "I don't want to forget!"
rang loudly in his ears.
DESERTED QUARRY
By Frank Meda
HO, looking at this old, ram-
shackle building, would think
that it was once the engine-
room which supplied the
steam to keep this quarry running ? The
steam from this very room used to run
that old iron derrick there at the far
end of the quarry, those wooden der-
ricks along the edge, and as if that were
not enough, it also ran the old dump-
trucks which took the old stone from
the quarry's edge and carried it away
to make room for the good stone being
continually brought up from the depths.
This quarry was once the pride of the
district, though to look at it now, one
would scarcely think so, filled as it is
with that dark, green water, and those
rotted booms of derricks floating on
top. There is a story attached to the
filling of this quarry.
One day while the men were working
in the quarry, a driller struck water.
The force of the water, when released,
was so great that it threw the drill high
into the air and killed the man in-
stantly. The water flowed into the
quarry so rapidly that four other men
were drowned. The bodies of all but
one of the men were recovered. Fifty
dollars was offered to any one who
would get this body. The water in the
quarry had risen to a height of about
forty feet when a young man attempted
to recover the body. This young man
went down, but became entangled in
some wire and was unable to get up
again. This made a total of six men
whose lives had been lost in the quarry.
Then another young man, a friend
of the would-be rescuer, went down.
He had the choice of bringing up the
quarry man's body and getting fifty dol-
lars, or his friend's body and receiving
only gratitude. When the rescuer came
to the surface, he was bleeding from
his nose and ears, but he had the body
of his1 friend with him. Friendship had
conquered love of money. He would
not go down again. Finally a diver,
borrowed from the navy, brought up
the quarry man's body. Since then this
quarry is known as the "Deserted
Quarry."

THE MAN IN THE SLOUCH HAT
By George D. Klein
"\^teM^ HE mining camp of Cripple
M ^] Creek, Colorado, was a typical
^^^^ camp of the late '90's. It was
surrounded by rugged moun-
tains, which was partly the cause of the
rough, unshaven gold miners of this
region. The "Tin Cup" mine was situ-
ated in a gully ten miles from the camp
of Cripple Creek. It was almost dark
when Dave and Madison reached the
mine. They were on night duty, some-
thing no miner likes.
"What a beastly night, eh, Madison?
I don't Ike this idea of being on night
duty."
"Oh, you're not so bad off; it's lucky
you're not on Scott's mine on old
'Baldy.' Well, here we are; might as
well get busy getting the water out of
the shaft; it sure fills up quick for only
being fifteen feet deep."
The work of pulling water from the
shaft was well under way by ten o'clock.
Madison was at the bottom getting the
bucket full, and Dave was at the top
pulling the bucket up. Dave was mak-
ing a poor attempt at a conversation.
"So Pete sold his claim to Scotty,
huh? Pretty soon Scotty will have all
the mines around here."
"Yes, but I don't think he'll get this
un.
"I wish that wind would stop blow-
ing; it's getting on my nerves. It seems
like they put up all those wires so the
wind could whistle through them."
"Aw, Dave, the wind shouldn't git
on your nerves. You've sure heard it
enough since you worked this mine.
Say, do you remember that miner that
went crazy up in these hills all on ac-
count of the wind ? They never did find
him. I'll bet he's still roaming the hills;
why, he might even come in here to-
night. Yuh know crazy people like
windy nights."
"Aw, Madison, shut up, will yuh?
Yuh know I ain't hankering for a
ghost story tonight. Ain't it scary
enough with the wind blowing?"
"Oh, all right, but that isn't a story;
it's the truth. Yuh know Emile Wolff
went crazy in that little cabin we passed
coming up, and this is probably the first
place he'd come to."
"Rave on, rave on! Sometimes I feel
like braining yuh. To think that they
killed men .ike Lincoln and let you
live. What's that?"
"What's what?"
"That noise."
"Oh, that's probably Wolff coming to
git yuh."
"No kiddin', Madison, I'll swear I
heard a noise; there it is again, over by
the door."
"If it's Wolff, tell him to hang his
coat on the nail and make himself at
home."
"Oh, shut up; that noise wasn't the
wind, and besides the wind don't walk.
There it is at the door. It's opening.
My gosh, Madison, have yuh got a
gun?"
"No, yuh fool, grab that axe and git
on this ladder going down the shaft.
Steady now, what does he look like?"
"I don't know. He isn't all the way
in. He's sure taking his time about it.
Now I can see part of him. He has a
black slouch hat pulled over his eyes
and his overcoat is pulled up, that's all
I can see. Did you hear that ? A groan,
I'd swear. It's Wolff. I'm going to
throw this axe."
"My God, Dave! Don't throw; it's
Sloan," came from the would-be crazy
man.
"Sloan? Why, you old son-of-a-gun.
How'd you come over here? Boy, yuh
don't know how close yuh came to
being a dead man. I thought you were
Emile Wolff, the miner that went crazy
out here."
"Emile Wolff? Who's he? I never
heard that one before. H-m-m-m, I'll
bet I know the solution to that story.
Madison has a good reputation for tell-
ing stories."

LIBRARY STAFF
This year has broken all records in
the history of our library. From figures
on hand now, it seems that about twice
as many books as last year have been
issued for use outside the library. The
period attendance shows a gain of ten
thousand over last year. This has ne-
cessitated an increase in the number on
the staff. Because of the new traffic
system in the library, five boys, who act
as marshals, have joined the staff.
In February, the members decided to
reorganize, and elected as officers:
Bernard Frew, President; Virginia Ho-
gan. Vice-president; Ragnhild Lind-
berg, Secretary, and Mary Sherriff,
Treasurer. Meetings have been held
every Friday, during the seventh period.
A trip was taken through the Herald-
Traveller building in Boston in March
and several parties have been held since
then.

TOPICS IN BRIEF
That topsy-turvy Golden Rod
caused a lot of trouble. "We received
letters expressing regret at the fact
that the printer got the magazine so
mixed up. And there was a sopho-
more who innocently and earnestly
took his copy apart and put it to-
gether again in the usual way.
There is a pupil in Miss Shaw's
fourth period history class who al-
ways begins his recitation by say-
ing, "I don't know" — and he is one
of the best in the class too! Page
Mr. Ripley.
We wish to extend our heartiest
sympathy to the person who lost
those fur-lined gloves in May and
hope that he recovers them before
the advent of the raw summer
weather.
The senior class deserves credit
for the manner in which their meet-
ings were conducted. The usual
noise and disorder were replaced by
orderly business procedure. In fact,
the meetings were so successful that
after the business was settled no-
body wanted to adjourn. Bob Mac-
Arthur at the "mike" simply slays
the weaker sex.
It certainly was a pleasure to go
to school during the week of May
16 knowing that the teachers were
not getting any reward for merit.
Ever since Mr. Wilson offered to
invite the members of his physics
class to attend as his friends the
lecture by Cameron Beck, the fel-
lows have found it hard to keep from
saying, "Hw'rya. G. A., ol' pal"
whenever they meet him.
Believe it or not — but "Harty" Sass
and Gordon Lamb go to church reg-
ularly. There must be a pretty girl
in the choir.
And let us remind you that this is
not a noospaper; it's a neeoospaper.
It may sound steeoopid, but it isn't.
In my opinion we should conduct
the class meetings after the manner
of the United States Congress. — Ar-
thur Ray Peel.
Some of the students advocate a
change in the name of the school
magazine; they want a magazine
that can't be sneezed at.
There is one thing that you learn
while on the Golden Rod Staff, —
never to become a journalist.
FIRST PRIZE AWARDED
TO STEWART SMITH
Quincy High School was represent-
ed at the National Music Supervis-
ions Convention held in May at
Cleveland, Ohio, by Stewart Smith,
who attended as a member of the
National High School Orchestra,
which was composed of the most
talented players in the entire coun-
try. In a test in music appreciation
given to those wishing to take part,
Stewart's paper was one of the three
chosen as the highest. The reward is
a summer at one of the two music
camps in the country with all ex-
penses paid. When asked to which
camp he was going, Stewart replied
that he would go to the eastern one,
of course. His was a creditable ac-
complishment, requiring not simply
the ability to play, but a thorough
knowledge of music as well. Hats
off to Stewart Smith!
On Wednesday, May 25, Gilbert
and Sullivan's popular operetta
"Pinafore" was presented in the high
school hall by the Glee Clubs, as-
sisted by the orchestra under the
direction of Miss Maude M. Howes,
who with Miss Tuttle has worked
long and hard to make it the suc-
cess that it was. There was a full
house, and judging by the comments,
everyone thoroughly enjoyed the do-
ings in the Queen's "navee." The
leading parts were taken by the fol-
lowing: Sr Joseph Porter. Elmer
Hussey; Ralph Rackstraw, Vincent
DelGallo: Captain Corcoran, James
Laing; Dick Deadeye, George Tarr;
Boatswain, Carleton Power; Boat-
swain's Mate, Arthur Szathmary;
Midshipmate. John Sisson; Joseph-
ine, Edith Bone: Hebe. Sybil Pam-
plin: Buttercup. Bernice Hipson.
They were assisted by a chorus of
44 sailors, marines, and sisters, cou-
sins and aunts, who gave excellent
support.
ORCHESTRA AND BAND MAKE
CLEAN SWEEP AT NORWOOD
At the Annual State Contest and
Conclave held at Norwood on May
21, our Orchestra and Band came
away covered with glory. Both or-
ganizations won first places and in
addition were awarded a one hun-
dred dollar scholarship to be used
for the Eastern .Music Camp in

DUMBER— The final edition (Time §|
out for a cheer).
PRICE— More than it's worth.
Maine. North Quincy High won sec-
ond place.
The required number for the or-
chestra was the first movement of
Mozart's "G Minor Symphony" ; the
selected number, "Thornrose Waltz"
by Tschaikowsky. The required
number for the band was "Light
Cavalry Overture" by von Suppe;
the selected number, "Marche and
Cortege" from the "Queen of Sheba"
by Gounod.
The result of the contest was well
worth the time and trouble spent on
the preparation. And in reviewing
the musical accomplishments of the
season we cannot help but say at
this time: Why worry about a win-
ning football team?
THE MEETING COMES TO ORDER
Under the supervision of Miss
Turner and Miss Aronoff, the mem-
bers of the Page and Stage Club
have been presenting a play at each
regular meeting. All the world's a
stage and the seniors want to prac-
tice for the drama of life, in which
they will soon be playing. A reduc-
tion in the number of members and
a change in the constitution are
planned for next year. Good luck to
the officers!
In addition to their regular meet-
ings, the Poetry Club now holds
after-school meetings on alternate
Wednesdays during which original
verse is discussed. At the meeting
on May 25 readings were given by
Miss Dawes and piano selections
were offered by Harry Mclntyre.
During the latter part of the season
the members have enjoyed student
reports and readings. At the Amy
Lowell Memorial Poetry Series given
at the Book Shop for Boys and Girls
in Boston, representatives of the club
heard interesting lectures by poets of
such repute as Carl Sandberg and
Robert Frost, and later talked with
these gentlemen.
Tou never catch the Girls' Club
inactive. They have undertaken big
things of late. The supper-confer-
ence sure was a success. Why, not
only the Senior High members at-
tended but also the executives from
the Girls' Clubs of neighboring high
schools! The event took place May
12 (the day before Friday the 13th).
369 Seniors to Receive
Diplomas on June 22
LARGEST CLASS IN HISTORY OF SCHOOL
The Senior Class is about to bring
its high school life to a close. The
class program opened on June 3
with a gala reception in the Quincy
Armory. The huge auditorium was
attractively decorated with hun-
dreds of roses and lattice work and
lighted by swinging pink lanterns,
providing a most colorful atmosphere
for the occasion. There was dancing
from eight to twelve, with music
by Paul Murphy's Troubadours and
refreshments served during the
course of the evening by Mrs. Fer-
guson. Those comprising the re-
ceiving line were Superintendent
and Mrs. James N. Muir, Head-
master and Mrs. Ernest L. Collins,
Sub-master and Mrs. George A.
Wilson. Dean of Girls Miss Mildred
Harrison, Mrs. Angus MacArthur,
and the class officers.
The reception committee included
John Kroesser, chairman: Doris
Van Bibber. Phyllis Elliott, Helmi
Heikkila, Kenneth Morgan, and
Donald Smith, with Miss Harrison
and Miss McCarthy
visors. The ushers
were members of the F'33 class and
were in charge of Mr. Hudson.
On Wednesday evening, June 15,
the class day exercises were held in
the school auditorium, and a rous-
ing good time was enjoyed. The
class gift to the school was the re-
mainder of the fund begun by the
February class for the purchase of
The Spanish Club sticks faithfully
by their play producing. The last
one was "Little Red Ridinghood"
presented in Spanish at a combina-
tion social and initiation. Those tak-
ing part were: Louise Foster, Hel-
ene Gilmore, Helmi Heikkila, Ed-
mund McKinney. Jennie Mattson.
and John Ryan.
for faculty ad-
for the event
a motion picture projector; so in
the future if you get tired during
the seventh period, you may go
down to the hall and look at a
Mickey Mouse. The usual appro-
priate gifts were presented to mem-
bers of the class and there certainly
were some amusing ones. The cafe-
teria rush will long be remembered,
also President MacArthur as the
cap'n of the clipper ship. The sing-
ing of the class song, the words of
which were written by Edith Lord,
brought the exercises to a joyous
close.
The committee in charge of the
program included Cornelius Van
Twuyver, chairman; Althea Sawyer,
and Robert Simpson. Miss Brown
and Miss Suttis were the faculty
advisors.
The senior activities wall close
with the graduation exercises in the
auditorium on June 22. The class
is the largest ever to be graduated
from Quincy High, numbering over
three hundred and fifty; however,
this is by no means their only dis-
tinction.
The diplomas will be presented by
Mayor Magrath. The musical pro-
gram will consist of choral and
orchestral selections. The high spot
of the ceremony will be the presen-
tation of the scholarships and prizes
to both the February and June
classes, as no awards are given in
February.
The boys are to wear white flan-
nels, blue coats, white shirts, and
sport shoes; and the girls, light
dresses, white shoes, and — yes, we
have the shade — sun tan hose. So
sophomores, come and see the seniors
at their best.
And thus, gentle readers, oh well,
just plain thus.
Bon voyage to the class of June
1932. May they live long and pros-
perously.

WASHINGTON PAYS A HASTY
VISIT TO ABINGTON
"Ogontz 2379x please," came the
voice over the phone.
"Hello! Hello! G. Washington
speaking. This the Old York Road
Odd fishes! Abington High
I beg thy pardon Master
the foolish operator hath
given me the wrong number again.
"Hello, operator! Thee hath given
me the wrong number. I wish Ogontz
2379x.
"Old York Road Tavern? George
Washington speaking. How many
sleeping rooms hath thee vacant in thy
Tavern? Six rooms and bath? Very
well, I shall ask thee to reserve them
for me. I am bringing along several of
my troops. What thy house will not
hold, we shall try to board elsewhere."
General Washington walked out of
the telephone booth, at the Reading
Terminal, quite well pleased.
His soldiers stood at salute, awaiting
his next command.
"Attention! right face! Forward! and
don't stop until you reach Child's Res-
taurant at Twelfth and Market streets
where we shall all appease our appe-
tites."
When all the troops had quieted
down in the restaurant, Washington
arose to tell his plans.
"Comrades, pals and friends, this
evening at the very dark hour of four-
thirty, we shall assemble at the Reading
Terminal, yonder. This friendly meet-
ing will be for the purpose of starting
a march to Valley Forge to begin battle
against the British. The British are hard
fighters and unless we fight hard and
stick to it, we shall fail. I leave thee
all now to enjoy the remainder of the
afternoon at your will. But be sure to
report with all your clothing for we
shall spend many cold months this win-
ter."
At four-thirty, the entire troop re-
ported at the Reading Terminal. With
packs slung across their backs, they fell
into step behind their beloved leader.
Their faces, weak and strong, fat and
thin, all had determined smiles. They
were at last beginning their long jour-
ney to Valley Forge.
"Hip! hip! hip!" came the bellowing
voice of George Washington. "Right
face, halt! Now divide into four
groups. Fine, now the first two groups
take the first two cars. The other two
take the last two cars. And officers jump
into the Pullman."
"Hurray!" came shouts from the
many soldiers. "We're off to capture
the British." The train gave a final tug
and began on its way.
At five-fifteen, the train pulled up at
the Jenkintown station. Washington
leaped past the porter and called his
faithful followers behind him.
"Attention, my men. This is as far
as our tickets permit us to go. From
THE GOLDEN-ROD
63
here we shall take up the march. We
shall all strike out for Old York Road.
When we reach there, as we have to
step into Woolworth's to buy some am-
munition, we shall have no money to
spend on trolley fare. We must walk to
Abington to the Tavern. In case we are
separated, the Tavern is located on the
corner of Old York Road and Susque-
hanna Road. It is across the street from
the drug store and right alongside the
Abington Bank. March! Hip! Hip!
Hip!"
At six o'clock, the entire troop was
waiting along the graveyard wall for
their general to report. He finally re-
turned to announce that there was not
enough room in the Tavern for all of
them. But a very kind, friendly family
on the opposite corner had offered their
house to the soldiers for that night.
That night, the men amused them-
selves playing ping-pong, listening to
Amos and Andy, and reading Ballyhoo.
At ten o'clock, all lights were switched
off and the soldiers retired in prepara-
tion for the following day.
At six o'clock the next morning, elec-
tric alarm clocks, ordering the soldiers
to get up, rang. Very sleepily, after the
long march the day before, the soldiers
dressed and ate their breakfast hur-
riedly.
After Washington sent an airmail
letter to Martha, the troops boarded the
P. R. T. once again to resume their
march to Valley Forge.
"THE ORACLE"
Abington High School,
Abington, Pa.
ENJOYING LIFE
To lie for once
Until eleven
Instead of jumping
Up at seven.
To have no themes
To ponder o'er,
No gym to make
My muscles sore.
To have no Latin
English, Greek,
No derivations
For to seek.
To spend my hours
Just free from strife,
Is what I'd call
ENJOYING LIFE.
"THE CLARION"
Jamaica Plain High School,
WHICH ARE YOU?
The beauties of nature mean nothing
to the pessimist, but to the optimist,
they mean everything. Anything is only
as good as the mind of the person who
sees it. A carpenter may listen to the
music of Wagner, and a music critic
may look at a house built by that same
carpenter. The carpenter hears nothing
in Wagner's music, and the music critic
sees nothing in the carpenter's house.
The scope of the eye and ear is limited
by the mind. If the mind is well de-
veloped, the eye and ear are also. And
so, the pessimist sees only the worst and
saddest things in life while the opti-
mist sees only the best and happiest
things.
"THE ORACLE"
Abington High School,
Abington, Pa.
TEAKETTLE
You hum and whistle all day long,
A merry, happy, lilting song;
You never do a thing that's wrong,
Teakettle.
You never try to start a fight,
You don't speak out and swear you're
right,
Teakettle.
You never tire of making tea,
You're always cheerful as can be;
Is there a lesson there for me,
Teakettle ?

EDITORIALS
SMILES FOR THE TEACHERS
It has been the custom from time
immemorial for newspaper editors,
about this time of year, to write edito-
rials to the graduating class. Some of
our own editors have even gone as far
as to indulge the practice. We are going
to be a little different, however, and
write one from the class J '32 speaking:
Being a rather large group, our feel-
ings toward graduation are somewhat
varied. Some of us are frankly glad to
get out, and are looking forward to the
day when we can slave eight hours a
day for our bread and butter. Others of
us, frankly, hate to leave. We enjoy the
friends we've made, the good times
we've had, and we want to keep them.
Most of us, however, look at things
as they are. We realize that we are
probably shutting the door on the hap-
piest years of our life, and that ahead
of us lie toil, and struggle and perhaps
hardship. But we look forward with
buoyant hope and faith to the future.
We regret parting from old associa-
tions, but graduation is a step forward,
and since that is the way we want to go,
we accept it cheerfully.
Nevertheless, one and all have, or
will have in a few years, the same feel-
ing of gratitude to our teachers. We
admire their patience and self-restraint,
and are duly thankful that we haven't
been thrown through the window more
than once. What is more, we realize
that we have profited by their instruc-
tions, much as we hate to admit it.
Therefore, we want to leave this
message to those who have yet a few
years of high school ahead of them:
That much more enjoyment can be had
by being friends with the teachers than
by being their enemies. They are, after
all, human beings and of a type that
really make the best of friends. They
also have the power to make things
very unpleasant for those they dislike,
especially about the time one thinks he
is going to be able to march up and be
handed a diploma.
So give your teachers a pleasant smile
once in a while instead of the guilty
smirk, and you will save yourself a
great deal of trouble, as well as make
some worthwhile friends.
CO-OPERATION
"Opportunity knocks at least once at
every man's door; it is the deaf and
the irresolute that it passes by." Here
in our High School, opportunity is
knocking loudly. Sophomores, Juniors,
and Seniors, this is the time to grasp it,
for it will never appear again to you
as it does now. The foundations of
your future successes are laid here. You
are being instructed and guided by
teachers who are giving the best that
is in them that you may absorb knowl-
edge and profit thereby. Your parents
are sending you here — your Dad work-
ing for you and your mother sacrificing
for you— and you, WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?
Are you co-operating with those who
are endeavoring to help you to knowl-
edge and power? For "knowledge is
power;" make no mistake about that.
Are you doing home assignments con-
scientiously? Are you paying attention
in classes ? Do you have the respect for
your teachers that you should have ? Or,
are you trying to tear down the stand-
ard of the school by doing as little as
possible and belittling as much as you
can, just trusting to LUCK to "get by"?
Success is rarely the result of pure
luck.
It is nearly always the result of a
group of circumstances prepared by
clevernesss and brought about by per-
severance.
And it is not always possible to real-

dence, and hard work it costs pupils to
have earned the name of "lucky."

Be a booster for your school. Work
with the teachers, not against them;
do your homework, don't bluff; sup-
port the school organizations, never
humiliate them; CO-OPERATE!
Co-operation is the corner stone upon
which success in any endeavor is built.
Lay that corner stone now in your High
School age and reap the benefits that
will surely come to you in the years to
follow.

WILL WE FIGHT?
Last winter, Mr. Whiting was kindly
informed by the authorities of the Fore
River Club that the club grounds would
no longer be available to our athletic
teams. Their reasons for such an action
we do not know, nor do we care much ;
but we do know that it will mean a
great deal to Quincy High.
It will mean, for one thing, that the
income from athletics will be danger-
ously decreased; that there will be less
money with which to buy uniforms and
equipment, to tranport the teams to out-
of-town games, and to keep a doctor
ready for emergencies. All home games
have to be played at Merrymount,
where any money taken in has to come
from voluntary contribution; and this
school has its share of Scotchmen. The
Athletic Association has been making
great progress in the last two years in
freeing itself of debt, but this will give
them a hard setback.
That is all triviality, however, com-
pared to what it means to us — the
school. It will be either our making or
breaking as a school worth attending.
We have one of two paths open to us.
We can go our way as we have always
done, taking what is free, and paying
for what we have to. We can let the
A. A. sink into debt, interscholastic
sport gradually be abolished, and the
girls lose all their he-man heroes. Or,
we can rise to the occasion like Ameri-
can high school students. We can seize
this opportunity to show the city and
the world that we really want our
teams, that we are willing to fight for
them and for the school, and that we
are worth helping with good equip-
ment and stadium facilities.
And we will !

We don't want beer; we want better
sleeping accommodations in the class
rooms.

The reception was held, this year, in
the Armory. If the present increase in
school population keeps up, they will
have to hire the G. O. P. Convention
Hall.

They have movies in all the class-
rooms. Why not have them in the study
hall also.

A PESSIMIST
Through the park I wandered of a day,
And a nymph-like fountain met;
The sun, with caressing rays,
Clad the naiad in raiment sparkling.
I stopped, admired its beauty, and passed,
Came back the following day
And followed the same path;
But gone was the beauteous form ;
In place the cold, drear stone,
Coated, and greenish with slime;
Then said I: "Life."

An Interview with Bing Crosby By Mario Zeni
XPERIENCE," said Bing
Crosby, "is the best teacher,"
as we were talking to him
backstage at the 'Met.' "Yes,"
he said, "I've rolled around quite a bit,
had an orchestra at college," (he didn't
say which one) "and worked the
dances and odd jobs, then a theatre en-
gagement at Spokane, Washington at
$40 weekly; that was good money, too
good to last; we got fired. Al Rinker
and I started out for California, one
thousand miles away, but our flivver
would not carry on for us, so we wound
up working in a cafe owned by Mike
Lyman, brother of Abe Lyman that
popular orchestra leader."
"Who do you consider among your
best friends?" we asked. "Well," he
said, "there's Paul Whiteman, a great
friend of mine, and Mildred Bailey,
that great blues singer with Paul;
Jackie Cooper and I are great pals. Then
there's Guy Lombardo, Russ Columbo,
and Rudy Vallee, all friends."
"Well,' 'he said, "I'm sorry I've got
to rush right away but I'm ten minutes
late for a dinner engagement," and af-
ter shaking hands he hailed a cab,
hopped in, and was gone.
What did he look like? Oh, he had
on a brown suit, a tan polo coat and a
tan cap pulled down on his forehead,
his shirt was open at the collar, but he
had a scarf around his neck. His face
was rather chubby, and he was not bad
to look at, and fellows, don't get the
impression that he's a sissy; boy, he's
built like the side of a house.
How the public loves him ! He came
out for one curtain-call after another
and finally brought the house down
when he rendered "Dinah," hot and
sizzling.
It was certainly a pleasure to inter-
view a man like him.
ANNA MAY WONG
By Phyllis Newton
"How do you like Boston?" "What
is Hollywood like?" "Where do you
go from here?" — these were but few
of the many questions flung at Miss
Anna May Wong by three rather agi-
tated young girls at the Metropolitan
Theatre one Saturday morning this
month. We had (on the spur of the
moment) rushed to the stage door to
see Miss Wong. "Tom," the doorman,
recognized us and passed us inside,
much to the consternation of some of
the bystanders.
"Has Miss Wong gone yet, Tom?"
we breathlessly inquired.
"No," said Tom; "she will be here
any minute."
We sat down on some boxes in the
office and then came a commotion out-
side— it was SHE!
Miss Wong more than came up to
our expectations of her! She was ador-
able! She was attired in a charming
gown of brilliant green, with a green
felt hat perched on her head. Most of
her jet black hair showed. Her features
were typical of the Mongolian race and
her slanting eyes were particularly
bright. As she entered the office where
we waited she smiled and said "Hello,"
to which we but lamely replied. Not
that we were unaccustomed to being in
the presence of celebrities. Oh, no ! the
stage door is our favorite pastime; but
she was so beautiful and so friendly,
we were a bit abashed.
"Tom" the doorman saw our plight
and came to the rescue with, "Won't
you talk to the young ladies, Miss
Wong ? They have come a long way to
see you." Miss Wong consented and
told us how in her next picture she
hoped to be cast for pleasanter roles,
as she has been a suicide, a murderess,
or something equally terrible in many
of her pictures. She liked Boston and
the people she met; she was going -o
New York; she loved her work, and
then she said, "I am afraid I will have
to go now," glancing at her watcn; "I
have a few minutes in which to dress.
Good-bye, and if you ever get to Holly-
wood, look me up" — and she was t;one.

SPORTS ON REVIEW
Hello, everybody! Well, this is the
last chance that I will have to catch up
on some of the outstanding events of
the present spring sporting season. We
surely hope you have enjoyed this sec-
tion in the past, and it will be our
privilege to try to make this last one
of the year as interesting as possible.
*
At present it looks as if Eddie
(Lefty) Howard would lead the bat-
ters on this year's ball team. Lefty has
been very steady with the bat this sea-
son, and there is no reason why he can-
not keep it up. As you probably know,
Eddie is considered one of the finest
outfielders in these parts. He covers
all balls hit in his direction with grace
and ease and has a fine throwing arm.
The two MacCarron boys are surely
doing nobly for the cause of this year's
team. Capt. Eddie in centerfield and
cousin Willie at short are both excel-
lent players defensively, and also are
heavy hitters.
Records don't stand very long when
our track team gets at them. Up at
Exeter our boys strutted their stuff in
fine style. Benny Niel and Johnny Mul-
hall both broke long standing meet rec-
ords, with the relay also clipping sec-
onds off the relay mark.
The tennis team with only one vet-
eran from last year has been showing
steady improvement under the direction
of Mr. Deane. Phil Cheney, the vet-
eran, is playing the No. 1 position.
The golf team still reigns supreme.
With scores decreasing with each
match, defeat does not seem likely to
come into their midst.
Jimmy LeCain has three ball teams
playing regular schedules. All the
teams have been playing good ball.

[An Interview with "Rabbit" Maranville, Captain of the Boston Braves}
By Frances Howley
His folks called him Walter James
Vincent, but while playing with New
Bedford some years ago his grotesque
actions and drollery, so amusing to the
fans, caused a girl to say, "Why, he
bounces around like a rabbit." The name
stuck. It was my pleasure to interview
this same man and I confess he is the
most likeable rabbit I have ever seen. It
was also an added pleasure to meet his
very charming wife. My first question,
of course, was about the "Rabbit Ma-
ranville Specialty," the vest pocket
catch. He explained that he catches the
ball waist high because it seems more
natural to him. He is sure of it that
way, as there is little chance of drop-
ping it. Mrs. "Rabbit" Maranville
nudged me and whispered, "Ask him
if he like the ladies." So I asked, "Do
you like the ladies, Rabbit?" Imme-
diately his face lit up. "Oh," he ex-
claimed, "I like the ladies very much,
and I like to have Ladies' Day here at
the park." This was said right before
his wife, too. Fearless man! "Rabbit,"
you know, was a member of the ail-
American team that went over to Japan
last fall. He had a great time over
there, and he likes the country very
much. The Japanese ball players, he
explained, display excellent fielding
and pitching, but as yet they have not

"Hello, boys!"
"Sam! Seems like a long time since
I pulled out that morning! Sure good
to see you again!"
"Hello, Sam! How are ya?"
"Fine, Ray! Say, Chic, how did you
get your message through?"
"I always carry a set of ear-phones
with me. They have clip-ends. All I
can remember is that I was about gone
when I noticed the pole down. I
crawled to it and found the wires un-
harmed. Then I clipped my phones
to the proper wires and got you. Sim-
learned to bat as well as American
players.
The Braves line-up has been changed
considerably this year. Where Maran-
ville played shortstop last year, he now
is covering second base. When I asked
him if he would rather play short stop
than second, he said he felt more at
home playing short. But I guess as
the game progressed the Braves' oppo-
nents thought he felt pretty much at
home around second base, too. He
played a flawless game. For the benefit
of you fans who would like to see a
World Series in Boston, "Rabbit" has
some very encouraging reports. He
stated that the Braves are going strong
this year and will continue to do so,
and that this team has the same fight-
ing spirit as that miracle team of 1914
displayed.
Perhaps you have wondered, as I
have, if some of those fantastic stories
told about Maranville are true. I was
particularly interested to find out about
that fish story — the one where he was
said to have dived into the aquarium of
a hotel lobby and come up with a gold-
fish between his teeth. He assured me
that this was a true fish story.
At this point in the interview the bell
rang for the Braves to take the field,
ending my talk with "Baseball's Peter
Pan."
pie! I always carry 'em. But if it
hadn't been for Ray, here, I wouldn't
be here now!"
"Aw, it was nuthin' swell that I
did!"
"Yes it was, kid. More than some
could go through!"
"It sure was, Ray! The boys and I
want you back as a regular, now, and
you sure deserve it! You two have
shown what a driver needs — pluck and
grit! The boys are gonna celebrate
when you get out, and they want to be
sure you both come! You deserve it!
It takes more than a truck and a driver
to live up to this job — it takes a man!"
BASEBALL
Quincy High opened its 1932 base-
ball campaign, April 15, at Newton.
The Newton opposition proved too
strong for the Quincy aggregation, and
Quincy returned home with a 10 — 1 de-
feat. On April 26, Quincy broke into
the win column in a big way, defeating
Milton 15 — 3. Weymouth proved a
stern foe. but was turned back, 3 — 2.
The strong Boston College High found
Quincy a tougher foe than expected.
Although B. C. H. won 14— 9 it was
not until the ninth inning that they
forged ahead and captured the game.
Huntington took Quincy into camp,
5 — 4, which proved to be a most in-
teresting struggle. Thayer Academy
visited Quincy, May 10. Quincy started
with "Toots" Orlando in the box.
"Toots" held the heavy stickers of
Thayer to one hit in the first six rounds,
but blew up in the seventh and Thayer
came from behind to win, 8 — 4. The
team again met Thayer, May 14, but
were not as effective as previously and
took a 10 — 0 loss at the Academy's
hands. Brockton, Quincy' s biggest
competitor, turned our team back after
nine hard innings of battling. "Toots"
Orlando pitched a beautiful game
throughout, but weak hitting proved
his downfall.
Games outside of the regular sched-
ule were those with the South Quincy
Cubs and the Boston Gear Works. Out-
standing on this year's team was the
veteran outfield composed of Eddie
Howard, Capt. Eddie McCarron, and
Vin Clancy. Willie McCarron stood out
in the short field berth. Jim Shearer, Jim
McLaclan and "Toots" Orlando did the
the bulk of the pitching.
TRACK
With about one hundred and twenty-
five candidates reporting, Coaches Wil-
son and Hudson set to work to develop
another strong aggregation for which
Coach Wilson is noted. Each afternoon
stiff work-outs were held at the oval.
A few of the outstanding aspirants
went up to New Hampshire, where
Quincy placed third. Johnny Mulhall
broke the meet record for the 880 yard
run. The relay team also came through
and broke the relay record. Don Smith
and Danielson also helped the team
with important points.
Norwood, where Quincy walked to
a 54 — 27 victory, proved a good work-
out in preparation for the Harvard
meet. First places were very frequent
with the Quincy trackmen.
At the Harvard meet held May 14,
Quincy placed fourth. Johnny Mulhal
came in tie for first in the 880. Benny
Neil and Harty Sass also scored points.
Future meets will be with Water-
town, May 24; Brockton, May 27;
Fitchburg Relay Carnival, June 4; pos-
sibly an Alumni meet on the 17th of
June.
Capt. Frank Delear, Johnny Mulhall,
B?nny Neil, Harty Sass, Don Smith,
and Danielson registered most of the
Quincy points in the meets that have
so far been completed.
Coach Wilson should be compliment-
ed for the fine work he is doing with
the boys. Hardly a week goes by that
one of the tracksters does not either tie
or break a record. In recent years the
track team has been the outstanding
team of the school. It has placed
fourth or better in all the important
state meets. This proves that the track
coaches are right there in developing
clever and successful teams. Track has
been very well supported by the mem-
bers of the school with goodly num-
bers reporting each season. So, good
luck in the future.

THE GOLDEN-ROD
TENNIS
Phil Cheney was the only veteran
who reported to Coach Deane when he
issued the first call for tennis candi-
dates. With a difficult schedule already
arranged, Coach Deane had no easy
job to build up a successful team around
one veteran. But this he has succeeded
in doing. Although it will take consid-
erable time for them to develop the
way he would like, improvement has
been very steady. Most of the new
players are sophomores and Mr. Deane
is building a team for the next two
years.
The first match was with Milton
Academy. May 4. The result, although
not in Quincy's favor, proved beyond
doubt that the right material was pres-
ent. The score was 4 — 3, with Milton
on the long end. The next two matches
were won by Quincy, 3 — 2 from Milton
and 5 — 0 from Norwood. Again, on
May 17, Quincy met a very high class
team and was turned back, 3 — 2 by
Brown and Nichols. "Whitman proved
a stumbling block and beat Quincy,
4—1.
Such close scores with such powerful
teams lead us to believe that with im-
provement the team will be sturdy
enough to beat the fast teams in the
district next year.
GOLF
There is no doubt as to the strength
of Quincy's Golf Team. Up to date the
team has been undefeated on its home
course and has suffered its only defeat,
8 — 1', at the hands of the Exeter team
on a strange course. It does not seem
likely that the team will taste defeat
again if it keeps up its present steady
playing. The team is being coached by
Mr. Albro and managed by Steve
Kusser. It lines up as follows: 1, Dick
Ruggles; 2, Kenneth Dunbar; 3, Law-
rence Cody; 4, Capt. Mario Serafini; 5,
Dick Koons ; 6, Eddie Baldovin.

SPORTS COMMENT
By John Kroesser
Well, here we are back with the base-
ball team once again. In spring our
fancy turns to the out of doors and
school sports. The student body has
shown that the school spirit is there,
and now all we want is a bigger back-
ing and more cheering at the games.
"Johnny" Nelson, who is holding
down the hot corner, is sure doing a
bang-up job of it. He seems to pick
up those fast, burning grounders like
nothing at all. He is also hitting the
old apple for "400" or more.
"Ed" McCarron, the captain, is sure
setting an example for his teammates in
regard to his regular batting. "Eddy"
is also hitting for a high average.
"Lefty" Howard is another outfielder
who, like "Ed" McCarron, has proved
himself worthy of his position in left
field. "Lefty" has been pounding the
old apple out, and he has made the
first baseman look sick many a time.
"Sam" Asnes is doing a "wow" of
a job at first. He is hitting the old pill
with an average with the best of them.
The baseball team as a whole is play-
ing good ball and it is getting good
pitching. The team is having hard
luck when it comes down to a pinch.
They have been hitting very well but
not at the crucial moment. The infield
has been making it very hard for the
pitchers by making too many unneces-
sary errors.
Carl Jepsen, Johnny Wickham and
Franny Haynes have left the Quincy
High sport circles, but will be remem-
bered long in baseball, football and
basketball teams respectively.
Mr. Wilson's boys on the track team
are doing a fine piece of work, and
their ability will be tested with Water-
town, Brockton, and Somerville.
The Golf Team

THE GOLDEN-ROD
The girls under Miss Baker are be-
ginning to prove that they are right
there when it comes to showing the
school spirit in sports. Really, girls can
also make records.
The tennis team has been going
"aces" and has won its games steadily
to keep in the "limelight" of Quincy
High School sports columns. Mr. Dean
deserves a great deal of thanks for his
efforts in bringing the team to its high
standards.
Mr. Albro's golf team is getting
along fine with its opponents. They
are giving all they meet some stiff com-
petition, and they are finishing on the
"bright" side of the score.
In regard to all sports, it is fifty per-
cent of the material that makes a good
club and fifty per cent up to the student
body whether or not there is a good
team on the field. The school needs
your assistance and school spirit to
carry its name to victory. Let's all keep
up that "spark" which is needed in
Quincy High School sports.
VOLLEY BALL
At the close of the basketball season
Volley Ball started off with a bang.
The girls showed the same interest in
the game this year that they did last
year. Because of the scarcity of Sophs,
teams were formed from the Junior and
Senior classes only. Each class had two
teams. The Senior Blue Team clinched
the series with three wins chalked up in
their favor and no losses. The girls on
the winning team, who will receive let-
ters, include: J. Shaevitz, G. Stevens, D.
Badot, V. Owen, S. Oliver, E. Paulson,
D. French, G. Seagar, and H. Wallan-
der.

GIRLS' BASEBALL
Approximately forty girls turned out
for baseball this season. The first game
played, the Seniors whitewashed the
Sophs with a 9 — 2 score. The game
was featured with a home run by
"Midge" Evans, the Babe Ruth of the
Senior team. Although the series has
just begun, the Seniors have a sneaky
suspicion they may repeat their last
year's performance by taking the series.
They are especially confident with Cap-
tain "Flo" Cole pitching, "Midge"
Evans receiving, and "Gerry" Sullivan
covering the first sack. Five games are
still to be played off.
GIRLS' TENNIS
The greatly increased interest in ten-
nis is evidenced by the large number of
girls participating in the tournament
now in full swing. Forty girls entered
the singles competition and there were
twenty teams starting in the doubles.
The following survived the third round
competition in the singles: Jessie Shae-
vitz, Mary Lamb, Betty Smith, and
Aino Webster. In addition to these
girls there are some others, who have
not yet had an opportunity to play. In-
cluded in these is Louise Rood, last
year's champion, who is favored to re-
peat this year. The doubles will be
run off after the singles competition is
finished.
A snappy little car entered a one way
street. "Hi, there, Miss. Do you know
that this is a one way street?" cried a
somewhat dried-out cop.
"Well," answered the fair Miss,
"How many ways do you think I'm
going?"
After this remark the officer blushed
and the car sped on.

WHAT SPORTS DO FOR A BOY
"Get into some kind of sports." This
is the sentence that is probably repeated
among students more than any other
sentence. We have heard this so much
that we laugh at the fellow who says
it. It seems to us that the world is fast
becoming play crazy. Why do they keep
trying to make us go out for sports in
High School ? Why don't they leave us
alone and build up one powerful team
instead of these twelve or fifteen fair
teams that the school has ? These ques-
tions are in the minds of every boy in
High School today, but, the average
High School boy does not look far
enough ahead, and so, he sees no an-
swer to these questions; but, I think
that I have found the answer: "Ath-
letics prepares a bov for the Game of
Life."
Perhaps the greatest thing athletics
does for a boy today is to bring him in
contact with new people to make
friends with them. When a fellow goes
out for sports, he meets the fellow^ he
never knew existed before. It makes
him feel larger and the school with
many strangers becomes the small com-
munity7, where one are all. and all are
one. In fact, it is sports that make and
keep a school united in one body. New
friends mean new ideas, so that his
right-hand knowledge increases as well
as his social standing. He is no longer
the boy; he is Dick who is on the ball
squad and is making good. When he
plays in games, the local business men
note his progress in games, but the busi-
ness men are even more interested in
how he gets along with his friends.
They hear comments of him from their
customers who may know him through
their children in school. These busi-
ness men may later give him his start
in life.
Athletics develop strength. Everyone
knows this, but few understand the
value of strength. It builds the body,
not so he may play in tomorrow's game
but later in die Game of Life. What
you do today is of not so much value
for the next day as it is for the later
years to come. Many boys go out for
sports, but, because they do not make
the first team, they quit. They are mak-
ing a big mistake by quitting because
the coach is not building the team for
tomorrow's game. He is building them
for the Game of Life so that they will
not wear down but be able to resist the
2;iant forces of the Human Tide.
The fellow who plays clean in sports
will play clean in the Game of Life.
Sports give one many temptations. If
vou can conquer foul play early in High
School, you will play clean later in life.
Resisting the chance to put the other
fellow out of play develops a strong
will power that mav prevent wars in the
future.
The boy in High School gradually
learns to help the other fellow to mend
his faults. This is called Self Sacrifice.
It is developed in High School Athlet-
ics. To stop and help the other fellow
is a great thing and it promises much
to the fellow who will stop to help.
You boys of today are yelled at by
the coach because the coach was once
a boy and has gone through what you
are going through today. He knows
the value of athletics and is doing his
best to see that none of the boys in his
school miss one of the greatest things
in life.
Get into sports and think of it as a
Prep School, a School of Preparation
for Life. Don't miss what many men
wish they had and didn't have because
they didn't realize the value of athletics
until later years.
Bob Gentry. June '31
REPORT OF THE SUBMASTER TO
THE SUPERINTENDENT
My Dear Mr .Muir:
I hereby inclose my semi-annual re-
port as submaster of the Kwinzy hi
Skule.
The annual funds received from the
pony in the lobby has decreased nearly
38 per cent, which is due, I believe, to
difficulties which prevail at the present
time. With the collection of $1.53.
which was received entirely in pennies.
I was forced to tell the June '32 class
that their dues would be increased from
$2.00 to $2,005 apiece, which if col-
lected, will take care of the deficit. I
am sure that as soon as conditions im-
prove this increase in class dues can be
removed and everything can be placed
back on the Gold Standard.
The rubber milk bottles, which the
F '32 class willed to the sophomores,
were gratefully received, but if things
keep on going as they have been in the
last few weeks I'm afraid we shall have
to discontinue their use, although I
hate to say this. The number of milk-
bottles broken daily has decreased to a
negligible amount, but the number of
fatalities is constantly increasing. When
these bottles are dropped they will re-
bound and sometimes cause a lot of
trouble. Only last week I had to stop
a senior and a soph from fighting. The
soph had dropped a bottle and the mis-
sile rebounded right into the face of
a senior who was standing near by with
a plate of soup in his hand. The poor
boy besides having some bad burns also
got a nice shiner which can be seen
even today. So you see, Mr. Muir, that
something has to be done.
Another thing that bothers me great-
ly is the large amount of tardy students
coming in at all times of the day. I
would suggest making a law preventing
all those coming in late from attending
school that day. With a system like this
the students will have a little more
leisure time for themselves and I could

THE GOLDEN-ROD
In the last issue of the Golden Rod
we published a letter and promised to
answer it. Here it is and we think that
"there is still a chance."
"Little Joe,"
"You Say You're Through," "Who
Cares?" "I Was Kicked in the Head by
a Butterfly" "The Day I Fell for You."
"When You're Far Away" "All the
World Will Smile Again." "Sittin on
a Rubbish Can" "Waiting for You Is
not Mv Idea of Heaven." "Some of
These Days," "Goof us," "Some Little
Bug Is Gonna Get You" "I'm Praying."
"Mv Lips Wanted Kisses" "You Gave
Me a Mouthful of Jam."
"My Mom" "Told Me All About
You," that you were just a lot of "Blah!
Blah: Blah!" "You Were My One and
Onlv" "Wrong Number." "I Don't
Know Why" "I Don't Hate You."
"You've Got That Thing" "I Guess."
Well. "Please Don't Talk About Me
When I'm Gone," you've been "Drag-
gin' My Heart Around" too much.
I'm "Just a Woman" so "Even
Though" "You Done Me Dirt" "I'm
Still Crazy 'Bout You." "Can't We Talk
It Over?"
"Oh! 'Sawful"
"K-K-K-Katy."
She: "Do you think I will ever be
able to do anything with my voice?"
Miss Tuthill: "It might come in
handy in case of fire."
OF COURSE NOT, JOHN. GO
AHEAD
John (bashfully) : "Do vou think a
kiss would be out of place, Mary?"
Mary: "Not if you have any sense of
direction."
"BANG! END OF ROUND ONE"
Hopeful Hombre: "I've never seen
such dreamy eyes."
Fed-up Miss: "That's because vou
never stayed up so late before."
THE GOLFER
by Browtniie Whitehead
Down the transplanted heather
There comes the crv of "Fore!"
Tis the golfer
Upon the track
Of some elusive score.
He wields a wicked mashie.
A tymie, and a tee
(I speak by guess
For I confess
They're all the same to me.)
His good Highland phrases
He freelv punctuates
With Scottish airs.
But when he wears
It's plain United States.
An old Scottish way of preventing
seasickness is to hold a quarter between
the teeth and have the hands tied be-
hind the back.
RAPID CALCULATION
She: "What do you do when you're
run down, John?"
He: "Take the number of the car."
Putnam is a hard worker, you know.
The good man works so hard that he
is compelled to walk in his sleep so
that he can rest and exercise at the
same time.
NO KIDDIN' EITHER
Quite a few wise cracks have been
made about the popular Austins, but
the other day we saw a fellow with
one on each foot using them as roller
skates. Thank heavens we're no centi-
pedes.
FROM THE ANGELS, NO DOUBT
Mr. Thomas: "Why is rain water the
purest form of water?"
Chemist: "Because it comes from
heaven."

WHY INDUSTRY NEEDS ME
(As told by Oscar R. Tividdlewank to the Blushing Chimney-Sweep,
E. A. Locke)
XN 1930, with an eye to the
future of American business,
I donated a colossal edifice to
Industry — The Weltum-
Weezum Toy Company. This corpora-
tion, fashioned by my own hands after
many years of consideration, completely
revolutionized the existing toy business
and reduced the price of Teddy Bears
ten to twenty percent.
Where before the Teddy Bear was
made of common camel hair, I started
the national nursery cry of:
"Hair from Contented Dromedaries."
Only the finest stuffing fills the torso
of our Weltum-Weezum Teddy Bear.
Stuffing made of the choicest of silk-
worm fur, aged \six months on the
steppes of Siberia where it contends
with the ravages of storm and the force
of intense heat. True Quality!
Our metal soldiers, made from the
finest of "Hi-Test Blue Steel" and skill-
fullv painted under the supervision of
Max Factor, successfully ruined the
trade of rival concerns and made Young
America "war minded." In every nur-
sery now sounds the clash and glamour
of battle as the Weltum-Weezum So-
gier Wogier conquers his weaker rival
of lead. American Youth prows frantic
for bicker and better bloodshed. Hence
DO
the pacifying effect of the Weltum-
Weezum Sabre for Shavers. In every
up-to-date nursery sour.ds the clamor of
clashing steel as the juveline colonels
attempt to draw first blood — that is, it
should.
With the advent of the move to ban-
ish all dangers to the child, we find con-
ditions quite serious. No longer can
American youth contract measles,
mumps, smallpox, bubonic plague and
other childhood maladies from his pets.
Vegetable Compound. Listerine, etc.,
rout all microbes from their hiding
places, and the only trouble that he
can gain from Rover, his pet Airedale,
is a mangled forearm. Putting all these
needs into mental notes, I withdraw in-
to my workshop. After months of re-
search I come forth with my Weltum-
Weezum Rover Dog, a very realistic
robot with needle-like teeth. When
correctly operated Rover should fly
about the room and sink his molars into
everything human in sight. In his
shaggy coat may lurk all manner of
microbes safe from the searchings of
antiseptics. It may be truly said that
endowed mechanically with the treach-
ery of an ill-tempered collie, the
strength of a mastiff, and the tenacious
chewing qualities of a bulldog, this toy
rakes doubly the place of the old time
nursery pooch.
It is with some difficulty that I dwell
on the subject of my theme. Does
Industry need the personal supervision
of Oscar R. Twiddlewank? Does the
manufacture of the famed Dillon Dip-
per depend on my findings and prog-
nostications ?
Of a certainty! Of a certainty!
What would be the future of Ameri-
can finance if the great captains of in-
dustry should refuse to co-operate?
What wailing and gnashing of teeth if
we should dissolve our companies!
If at the present time I should shut
down my factories what would happen?
Young America, missing the versatility
THE GOLDEN-ROD
83
of the Weltum-Weezum Toy and un-
able to content themselves with the in-
adequacy of other brands, would fall
into a decline and pine their little hearts
away.
This all goes to prove that American
Industry and The Stockholder both
need me. It's for the good of THE
LITTLE FOLK!!!
Oh, yeah???
YOUR LASSOO, COWBOY
Teacher: "Quiet, there goes the bell."
Student: "Whoa, steady, catch it."
One fine day Miss Goudey's very best
English class was working on a test
when the peace and stillness (?) of the
classroom were rent by a loud noise.
Miss Goudey had (just imagine!)
dropped on the floor a box of POKER
CHIPS. Explanations were futile, etc.
Will she ever hear the last of it? By
Joe!
A QUEER TALE
"Anything to declare?" the customs
officer asked a stylishly-dressed lady.
"No, nothing."
"Then," said the polite official, "I
may take it that the fur tail hanging
beneath your coat is your own?"
Put your hat on Joe. It needs block-
ing.
Reviewing the present reversions to
old styles in feminine dress, when are
we going to get back to caveman era?
For heaven's sake, fellers, kindly ac-
cept this sound advice. If you are plan-
ning to take German next semester,
think twice, because if you have a fair
mark in English or any other modern
language now, your next report card
might not look so bright if you have to
juggle words like this:
"Vierwaldstatterseedoppelschraubers-
alondampferactiongesellschaft."
This even beats Ripley's record.
SO LONG AS IT DOESN'T COME
IN QUART BOTTLES IT'S O. K.
Miss Goudey: "Who can tell me
what a cloister is?"
Unc. Walt: "A cloister is what
grapes come in."
OLD TINSIDES
By Brownie Whitehead
(With an apology to Oliver Wendell
Holmes)
Aye, tear her battered engine down
Long has it throbbed in high
And many an eye has glanced to see
Her torn roof passing by.
Beneath it rang the policeman's shout
And burst the traffic roar
The mortar on the boulevard
Shall sweep the streets no more.
Her sides once smeared with plastic
mud,
Her horn that wouldn't blow —
When winds were howling on her hood
And tires were flat below,
No more shall feel the soothing touch
Or know the driver's glee
When gear shift and that d -d old
clutch
Are working perfectly.
Bill, (holding his nose over a per-
fume bottle) : "Cheap stuff, hey?"
Joe: "Yep. I pay five dollars a quart
for mine."
And then there's the Chem stude
who, when asked what he was doing,
said, "None of your bismuth."
Instructor: "How dare you swear be-
fore me?"
Junior: "How did I know that you
wanted to swear first?"
Bill W — uses his mother's bread
knife as a razor, but one day she caught
him and gave him the deuce for nicking
the edge. Wire haired, no doubt.
CHOOSING A CAREER
High School graduates in large numbers,
either immediately after completing their
high school courses or even after they have
acquired still further cultural education, find
themselves making the decision to seek po-
sitions in business rather than in the pro-
fessions, in order that they may the sooner
become financially independent. At such
times both high school and college gradu-
ates are face to face with the same difficulty
— that of persuading employers that they
possess qualifications which may be devel-
oped into valuable business assets.
Should you choose to enter Business as
your vocation, it would be well for you to
ake an inventory of your assets, and con
sider whether or not you can offer an em-
ployer anything that he would be willing to
purchase.
Assuming that in addition to your educa-
tion you are possessed of such valuable as-
sets as good personality, initiative, willing-
ness to work, etc., have you that which in
the eyes of the employer is absolutely essen-
tial— -a satisfactory knowledge of the funda-
mentals of business practice, without which
your other qualifications are of little value
in the modern business office? Lacking
such training it is almost impossible to se-
cure admission to a business office; much
less to meet successfully the severe compe-
tition of those who with less cultural educa-
tion yet are possessed of a practical know-
ledge of business fundamentals.
Young men and young women who may
be interested in training for successful ca-
reers in business will find it to their advan-
tage to write to Principal L. O. White,
Bryant & Stratton Commercial School, 334
Boylston Street, Boston, for information
regarding Business Administration or Sec-
retarial Courses. The Summer Session
opens July 5; the Fall Session September 6.
